Description

Two-dimensional metal carbide nanocomposite and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of two-dimensional metal carbide nano composite materials and non-inflammatory photothermal treatment of tumors, in particular to a PVP modified two-dimensional metal carbide nano composite material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a hyperthermia method that uses photothermal conversion agents (PTCAs) to generate sufficient heat under near infrared (NIR, 700-1100 nm) light to ablate solid tumors. PTT, as a non-invasive hyperthermia method, has its unique advantages over traditional tumor treatment methods: (1) healthy normal tissue is minimally damaged; (2) non-invasive or minimally invasive; (3) effective anticancer activity; etc. PTT has attracted considerable attention from researchers because of the excellent advantages exhibited.
In general, the total extinction coefficient of near infrared light is relatively low relative to other light components, and penetrates deeper into tissue than Ultraviolet (UV) or visible light. Thus, the penetration depth of near infrared light can be optimized for a variety of cancers, resulting in efficient tumor treatment. However, while tumors can be rapidly resected by photothermal therapy, the large amounts of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that accompany release can trigger negative inflammatory reactions, thereby compromising the effectiveness of such treatment. Over the last several decades, many studies have demonstrated that an important link between inflammation and cancer increases the risk of cancer in persons suffering from chronic inflammation by about 20%. It is thought that PTT-induced inflammation may promote metastasis and worsen prognosis of tumors, as inflammation may provide a cancerous-like condition for epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumor recurrence and metastasis. In addition, inflammation is often accompanied by tissue damage, slowing wound healing, and causing severe pain to the patient. Therefore, development of PTCAs for photothermal ablation of non-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory tumors is central to photothermal therapy. However, few reports on this topic are available.
Currently, factors affecting the performance of PTCAs mainly include absorption wavelength, size, material and shape and surface modification, etc., which all affect the absorption wavelength and size of PTCAs. However, the larger the size of PTCAs, the higher the light-heat conversion efficiency is, but there are drawbacks in that the penetration is reduced and the toxicity of foreign matters is higher, resulting in limited use thereof. The size of the PTCAs nanoparticles used at present is generally between 50 and 300 nm.
We have found in the course of developing PTCAs for non-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory tumor photothermal ablation that transition metal carbides Ti 3 C 2 Is very good inThe promising photo-thermal conversion material has good photo-thermal conversion efficiency, and the extinction coefficient of 808nm is 7.39Lg -1 cm -1 . Zirconium (Zr), however, is of the same family as Ti but with a larger period, can be used to optimize the thermal plasma effect due to its external heavy atoms. Experimental study shows that the extinction coefficient ratio Ti of the zirconium carbide nano-dots at 808nm 3 C 2 The ultrafine zirconium carbide nano-dot has high biological safety and can be rapidly metabolized and discharged from the body. Therefore, the prepared zirconium carbide nano-dots can be used as a new PTCAs for photothermal therapy, but the prepared zirconium carbide nano-dots have the phenomenon of unstable dispersion in aqueous solution. Thus, there is a need for improvements in zirconium carbide nanodots to obtain PTCAs that are dispersible and stable in aqueous solutions.

Comparative example 1
A method for preparing a two-dimensional metal carbide nanocomposite, substantially the same as in example 1, except that:
with titanium carbide (Ti) 3 C 2 ) The powder replaces zirconium carbide (ZrC) powder.
Comparative example 2

replacing zirconium carbide (ZrC) powder with graphene oxide nanoplatelet (GO) powder.
Comparative example 3
A method for preparing a two-dimensional metal carbide nanocomposite, substantially the same as in example 1, except that:
with Ti 3 C 2 -Fe 3 O 4 The powder replaces zirconium carbide (ZrC) powder.
The PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in examples 1 to 3 were substantially identical in performance, and thus morphology analysis, ultraviolet and visible light absorption test, temperature rising efficiency test, photo-thermal stability test, in vitro tumor killing ability test, free radical scavenging ability test, and photo-thermal ablation test of solid tumors of mice were performed only with PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1.
1. Morphology analysis of zirconium carbide nanodots
The PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 were subjected to morphological analysis, and the specific results are shown in FIG. 2. Wherein, FIG. 2a is a high resolution transmission electron microscope image; FIG. 2b is a diffraction pattern; FIG. 2c is a particle size distribution plot.
From fig. 2a, it can be seen that the nanoparticles are uniformly distributed and the particle size is relatively uniform; from the particle size distribution statistics (FIG. 2 c), it can be seen that the particle size of PVP-ZrC NDs is mainly concentrated in the range of 4 to 5nm, and the average particle size is about 4.5 nm. As can be seen from fig. 2b, a PVP layer was formed on the surface of ZrC NDs, which further demonstrates that PVP-modified zirconium carbide nanodots (PVP-ZrC NDs) were successfully prepared in example 1 of the present invention.
2. Ultraviolet-visible light absorption test
PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 were dispersed in water to prepare solutions having gradient concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Mu.g/mL, and UV-visible light absorption tests were performed in a UV spectrophotometer, respectively, and then linear fitting was performed to calculate extinction coefficients, and the results are shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 (a) is a graph showing UV-visible absorption test of solutions of different concentrations; fig. 3 (b) is a linear fitting diagram.
As can be seen from the results of fig. 3, the linear regression equation is obtained by performing a linear fit with different concentrations x as abscissa and absorbance y as ordinate: y=0.0122+0.067, r 2 =0.99. Thus, according to beer's law a=epsilonbc, where a is absorbance and epsilon is the extinction coefficient; b is the optical path length (cm); c is the concentration of the light absorbing substance (g/L).
Calculated, the extinction coefficient epsilon of PVP-ZrC NDs prepared in the embodiment 1 of the invention at 808nm wavelength 808 =12.1Lg -1 cm -1
PVP-Ti of comparative example 1 3 C 2 Extinction coefficient epsilon of NDs at 808nm wavelength 808 =7.39Lg -1 cm -1 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Comparative example 2 extinction coefficient ε of PVP-graphene oxide nanoplatelets NDs at 808nm wavelength 808 =3.6Lg -1 cm -1 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Comparative example 3 PVP-Ti 3 C 2 -Fe 3 O 4 Extinction coefficient epsilon of NDs at 808nm wavelength 808 =7.9Lg -1 cm -1
As is clear from comparison of comparative examples 1 to 3, the extinction coefficient of PVP-ZrC NDs prepared from ZrC powder in example 1 of the present invention at 808nm wavelength is larger, which indicates that the ultra-small PVP-ZrC NDs has more excellent photo-thermal conversion efficiency.
3. In vitro evaluation of photothermal Effect
In order to further evaluate the photo-thermal effect of PVP-ZrC NDs on tumors in vivo, PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 of the present invention were prepared into solutions with gradient concentrations of 0, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40. Mu.g/mL, and the photo-thermal stability was tested by monitoring the heating effect and photographing in real time using an infrared camera under the irradiation of 808nm laser, and the results are shown in FIG. 4. FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (c) are graphs showing the effect of temperature increase by 808nm laser irradiation; the right panel of fig. 4 (b) is a photo-thermal stability diagram.
FIG. 4 (a) is a time-temperature profile of PVP-ZrC NDs solutions of different concentrations over a period of irradiation. As can be seen from FIG. 4 (a), the temperature of the 40. Mu.g/mL solution sample of PVP-ZrC NDs was rapidly increased from 25℃to 53℃within 300 seconds of irradiation, and reached a maximum temperature of 57.5℃after 600 seconds of irradiation. FIG. 4 (c) shows the laser irradiation of PVP-ZrC NDs solutions of different concentrations at 808nm (1.0W/cm 2 ) Photothermal image under, and irradiation with different laser powers (0.5W/cm 2 、1.5W/cm 2 ) And (3) a photothermal image. The results of fig. 4 (a) and fig. 4 (c) show that the PVP-ZrC NDs of the embodiment of the invention have good heating efficiency, and the heating effect is positively correlated with the laser power. FIG. 4 (b) is a photo-thermal stability test chart of PVP-ZrC NDs of example 1 after 5 heating/cooling cycles. As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the PVP-ZrC NDs of example 1 showed substantially no change in the photo-thermal conversion behavior after 5 heating/cooling cycles, thereby demonstrating that the PVP-ZrC NDs of example 1 had excellent photo-thermal stability before and after laser irradiation. This further verifies that PVP-ZrC NDs of example 1 of the present invention have excellent photothermal therapeutic capabilities and can be used as potential photothermal conversion agents.
4. In vitro tumor killing capability test
PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 were prepared as a solution having a concentration of 100. Mu.g/mL, and the solution was tested for its in vitro tumor killing ability. The above solution was co-cultured with GL261 glioma cells for 24 hours, then after laser irradiation at 808nm for 0min, 5min, 8min, 10min, cultured overnight, then washed three times with PBS, and added with Calcein-AM, propidium Iodide (PI) or Merge (combined treatment of Calcein and propidium iodide), respectively, to perform dead/living staining of the cells, the dead cells appeared red, the living cells appeared green, observation by a fluorescence microscope and photographing, and the results are shown in FIG. 5.

As can be seen from fig. 5, PBS group and Zrc group showed significant green fluorescence, indicating that PVP-ZrC NDs had low toxicity to GL261 glioma cells, and no significant in vivo toxicity. Cells in the zrc+nir 5min group, zrc+nir 8min group and zrc+nir 10min group showed clear red fluorescence compared to Zrc group, indicating that photothermal treatment can cause extensive GL261 glioma cell death and has superior tumor cell killing effect. Therefore, the PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in the embodiment 1 have good photo-thermal killing effect on tumor cells and have good application prospect on photo-thermal treatment of tumors.
5. Free radical scavenging ability test
The PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 were prepared into solutions having concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200. Mu.g/mL, and tested for radical scavenging ability.
The ROS kit is adopted to detect the level of active oxygen, and the ABTS probe and the DPPH probe are adopted to detect the scavenging ability of oxygen free radicals and nitrogen free radicals.
Normal human vascular endothelial cells are stimulated by LPS (lipopolysaccharide) to serve as an inflammatory activating cell model, PVP surface modified zirconium carbide nanodot solution is incubated for co-culture, and qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) is used for detecting the gene level expression index of inflammatory factors, and the result is shown in figure 6. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the effect of PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 on scavenging active oxygen and anti-inflammatory (classical inflammatory factors: IL-1β, IL-6, TNF- α) effects.
Wherein, IL-1 beta is interleukin 1 beta; IL-6 is interleukin 6; TNF-alpha is tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
FIG. 6 (a) is a graph of wavelength versus absorbance for samples of different concentrations; FIG. 6 (b) is a concentration-inhibition bar graph of samples of different concentrations. FIG. 6 (c) is a graph showing the absorbance of the DPPH at various concentrations. FIG. 6 (d) is a bar graph showing the change in levels of inflammatory factor TNF-. Alpha.in different treatment groups. FIG. 6 (e) is a bar graph showing the change in the level of inflammatory factor IL-1β in different treatment groups. FIG. 6 (f) is a bar graph showing the change in the levels of inflammatory factor IL-6 in different treatment groups. Wherein control is a blank control group; LPS is LPS group; GO+LPS is the LPS-induced validated model cells co-cultured with PVP-GONDs of comparative example 2; zrC+LPS is a validated model cell induced by LPS and PVP-ZrC NDs co-cultured group of example 1.
From FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c), it can be seen that PVP-ZrC NDs of example 1 of the present invention have excellent free radical scavenging ability, and the concentration of the solution is proportional to the scavenging effect. As can be seen from fig. 6 (d) to 6 (f), the zrc+lps group exhibited a stronger anti-inflammatory ability than the go+lps group. This demonstrates that PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 have free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
6. Photo-thermal ablation test for solid tumors of mice
To further verify the in vitro therapeutic effect of PVP-ZrC NDs. PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 was prepared as a solution having a concentration of 2mg/mL, and then tumor-bearing mice (100. Mu.L) were injected into the tail vein, and after 12 hours, tumor-bearing mice were continuously observed for 2 weeks by irradiating the tumor-bearing mice with a laser at 808nm for 5 minutes, and tumor changes were recorded. After 2 weeks, the tumor was removed, observed and photographed, and the results are shown in fig. 7. FIG. 7 is a graph showing the effect of PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 on the treatment of glioma in mice transplanted subcutaneously.
FIG. 7 (a) is a representative photograph of a mouse tumor of a different treatment group at the end; FIG. 7 (b) is a bar graph of the weight change of resected tumor after treatment of each treatment group; FIG. 7 (c) is a graph showing the change in average tumor volume after 808nm laser irradiation in each treatment group. Wherein, contrl is a blank control (PBS) group; NIR 808nm laser group; zrC is PVP-ZrC NDs solution injected by tail vein; zrC+NIR is a tumor group irradiated with laser at 808nm after PVP-ZrC NDs solution is injected through tail vein.
As can be seen from fig. 7 (a) to 7 (c), zrC group has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth, but the effect is not significant. The PVP-ZrC NDs solution shows obvious inhibition effect on tumor growth after being injected into tail vein and irradiated by 808nm laser (ZrC+NIR group); and compared with the Contrl group, the NIR group and the ZrC group, the ZrC+NIR group has more remarkable inhibition effect. And no death of tumor-bearing mice was observed in the zrc+nir group as continuously observed. From this, it is demonstrated that PVP-ZrC NDs obtained in example 1 have good photothermal ablation effect on solid tumors.
8. Summary analysis
The embodiment of the invention mainly uses zirconium carbide (ZrC) as a two-dimensional metal carbide, and the zirconium (Zr) is in the same family as the Ti, but has a larger period, and because of the external heavy atoms, the zirconium (Zr) can be used for optimizing the thermal plasma effect. On the basis, the method takes commercial zirconium carbide as a raw material, adopts an ultrasonic liquid phase stripping method to prepare the zirconium carbide nano-dots (ZrC NDs) with good stability and water solubility, and is modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to obtain the zirconium carbide nano-material (PVP-ZrC NDs) with good photo-thermal performance. The PVP-ZrC NDs prepared by the method have good near infrared light absorption and photothermal conversion capability, and can be used for tumor thermal ablation at a lower concentration. In addition, PVP-ZrC NDs also have excellent free radical scavenging ability, and can overcome inflammatory reaction caused by traditional PTT. Tumor growth of tumor-bearing mice is obviously inhibited after intravenous injection of PVP-ZrC NDs under the irradiation of near infrared laser. More importantly, these tiny PVP-ZrC NDs were not significantly toxic in vivo and efficient in vivo excretion was observed. Taken together, our findings underscore that these ultra-small PVP-ZrC NDs can eliminate tumors with the aid of near infrared lasers, and that ROS scavenging causes anti-inflammatory responses, potentially providing safer, more effective treatment for gliomas.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
